It was a perfect Sunday where Group 1 and 2 were invited to join Suraya and Nadya at their Hari Raya Open House. That morning, everything went as planned. I was to meet Joanne and June at Su Fen's house where I will be driving Su Fen's mom's Hyundai to Suraya's house, picking up Nana and Reagan on the way. Honestly, it was the biggest car I've ever driven in my life. But nvm, I took on the challenge and 'test drive' the car the night before. As soon as everyone assembled at Su Fen's house, we left to pick Reagan up. I was totally clueless as to where his church was located so we chose a petrol station as our meeting point.
Met up with Reagan and off we headed to our destination. I have never been to Suraya's house before which obviously explains why I don't know the way. Nevertheless, equipped with google Earth and Suraya's explanation, I managed to find the house on Google Earth. So we hit the Sprint highway, and suddenly it started to pour like that was no tomorrow. To make things worse, Su Fen's mom's car's wiper wasn't functioning at one side. gah. I seriously panicked. Su Fen went down and tried fixing it but her attempt was unsuccessful. Damn. Fortunately, Joanne's Petaling Street Ray Ban glasses came in handy as it helped to improve my vision. So we continued out journey traveling at an average speed of 60kmph.
As soon as we reached PWTC, which was quite close to our destination, a kind woman honked me and shouted from her window... I seriously didn't know what to do and it took me a few seconds before I unwind my window. "Tayar Tayar" she shouted. The facial expression on Su Fen changed dramatically, followed suit by me. I have no choice but to pull over at the sideway. To our dismay, the left rear tyre punctured!!! It was again, the first time such an incident ever happened to me or anyone of us for that matter. I didn't know how to act. To make matters worse, it was a Sunday and most of the shops were close. Everyone blamed Nana for the flat tyre which obviously wasn't the cause. Nana and I searched around for a mechanic's workshop but only found plenty and plenty of motorcycle workshops. There was a tyre shop at one end though, but we were so lucky that it was closed.
The lucky tyre
While Nana and I continued our fruitless search, Reagan and Su Fen got dirty and tried to change the ill-fated tyre. It wasn't long till a kind Samaritan came by and helped them shortly before I returned. It was raining at that moment btw. Shortly afterwards, he finished his task and rewared him a sum of RM10 for his kind deed. Seirously... I really wana thank him so much... a kind Indian gentleman... He also showed us the way to the nearby petrol station to fill more air in the spare tyre. And the actual cause of the flat tyre was a nail... %*&#. I guess we were just 'lucky'.
Me filling air...
It was about an hour since we noticed the flat tyre when we finally continued our journey and headed for some scrumptious rendang and lemang. As soon as we reached Suraya's house, all of us were literally stunned by the sheer size of her 'chateau' not house...
Suraya, the proud owner of 'Chateau of the East'. Unlike any other human beings, she made her house 'the best kept secret' and has never bragged about it or even told anyone...
Fellow classmates feasting ourself
Me, Joanne.
After our meals, we were brought on a short tour round her luxurious abode. Her mansion, is located beside a waterfall, yes a waterfall, not artificial but natural. This explains the soothing therapeutic sound of the gushing waterfall that can be heard at every corner of her dwelling.
Majestic pillars which forms the foundation of her home.
Reagan, re-enacting a scene from Donald Trump's Apprentice in the dining room.
Suraya's pool table... I wonder how come she still sucks in pool... lol
Michelle clearly couldn't resist a shot with Suraya's Louis Vuitton bag.
And I was awed my the magnificent view of the city centre right from the window of her bedroom.
Position, Pose and Snap
Lame and lifeless, we played the 'Game of Life'. Again, it was my first time playing it. lol.
Quite fun and interesting but the most interesting of all was SHAG, MARRY and KILL. hehe
Me and the Tv. Yeah, it's not a poster but a Tv screen... so huge that I don't know how many inches.
Sunset at the garden
Before heading back home, all of us ventured to the waterfall.
It's unbelievable how closely situated Suraya's house is to a natural waterfall.
Me and Didabezz making good use of the natural surrounding
As for these two, they were clearly inspired by Ang Lee's award winning movie.
So that was the end of a $%^&*$&%*$&* screwed up day. If it weren't because of the warm hospitality and friendliness of Suraya, I bet it would have been hell.
The scenic view of KL on the way home.
Like June mentioned, I know how to change a tyre, DO YOU?
